Land Use Effects on Aquatic Fluxes of Greenhouse Gases from Ponds and Ditches (LEAF-PAD)
The 2019 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Refinement chapter on wetlands, on which I am a contributing author, states:“At present, available data are not sufficient...
Membrane microdomains in soil bacteria
Soil bacteria are constantly exposed to rapidly changing environmental conditions, such as periods of draught or heavy rainfalls, and a plethora of toxic substances, including pest...
Newly inundated forest landscapes as hotspots for mercury bioaccumulation and transfer across the aquatic-terrestrial food web (INFORM-Hg)
Forest soils have retained high loads of anthropogenic mercury (Hg) since the start of the industrial era. Inundation of forests, that flood terrestrial soils, can mobilize legacy...
Selective participation and loss to follow-up in population-based studies: novel approaches for dealing with unmeasured causes of selection
Population-based studies are important sources of new knowledge about risk factors, effects of treatments and prevention strategies for chronic and infectious diseases, as well as...
A future to believe in? Social optimism in times of structural change
The notion that our societies are progressing towards a brighter future has long been taken for granted. However, recent studies suggest that people in many rich countries – includ...
Biomass Derived Fluorine-Free Ionic Liquids Based Electrolytes Enabling Sustainable Batteries (BioSusBat)
The lack of safe yet high-performance electrolytes and limited natural resources are two large challenges for battery development and their implementation on a larger scale. First,...
A Sustainable Land-Use Transition for the Amazon? Leverage Points and Institutional Innovations to Address Tropical Deforestation
Tropical deforestation remains an urgent environmental issue. Much of it is caused by the production of a few agricultural commodities (e.g. beef, soy), whose demand also provides...
Impact of premenstrual disorders on women’s health and working life
Premenstrual disorders (PMDs), including premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), affect millions of women of reproductive age around the world. The...
Fair gold? Institutionalising labour and environmental standards along the certified gold supply chain
Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) has increased precipitously worldwide, namely because of a consistently-high market price for gold. The sector’s rapid growth, however, has...
Mixture pollution in agricultural streams: linking the effect of chemicals to the genome of freshwater organisms using an ecotoxicogenomic approach
Chemical pollution is a global threat that jeopardises ecosystem services and impairs the health of aquatic ecosystems. Mixtures of chemicals reduce species diversity and abundance...
Green Cognition: Environmental impacts on cognitive resilience and decline in two nationwide population-based cohorts

It’s a trap! Evaluating and mitigating point source pollution as a widespread ecological trap for aquatic wildlife
Wastewater treatments plants (WWTPs) are one of the largest point-sources of nutrient and chemical pollution to freshwater habitats around the world. Mounting evidence shows that W...
Would the Northern European Enclosure Dam really protect Sweden from sea level rise? (NEEDS)
Sea level is rising, threatening coastal populations and infrastructures. Yet to date there is no consensus as to what drives sea level at a given location, nor how soon sea level...
Sustainable encounters in large preschool playgrounds

Molecular Signatures of Meat Intake and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
Background: Epidemiological associations have been reported between dietary meat intake and higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), however, there is little knowledge about th...
Space based observations of volcanism for reduced uncertainties in climate models
Explosive volcanic eruptions can inject SO2 into the stratosphere where the gas forms submicron aerosol particles. Large such eruptions can have a strong climatic impact and have t...
The role of CTCF and cohesin in leukemia development
High hyperdiploid acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is characterized by chromosomal gains. How these extra chromosomes are gained and how they affect the cell remain largely unkno...
